Finally here is the video of a simple Gel refill. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible. There are many types of ways to do a refill .. this way works the best for me... I am sure I'll show you different ways in the future.
Also keep in mind if you have lifting that you always file right before the lift not on the lifted part,that way you don't end up filing your natural nail down.
Many ask about the Heat spike on gels. Here is an explanation in a nutshell.
Its called heat spike" and is an exothermic reaction. For example one ingredient that changes how a gel cures is called photoinitiators. The initiator is triggered by the activator; Ultra Violet Light Energy. Photoinitiators (PIs) are light sensitive and decompose into free radicals to start the polymerization process. PIs absorb UV light and convert it into the energy needed to drive the polymerization (curing process). In general, the more PIs there are in a formula, the faster the cure. High amounts of PIs can cause excessive exotherms which will heat up on the clients' nails (some gels have a higher level of Pls in them thus the more intense burn .) But.this is especially uncomfortable for the clients whose natural nails have been damaged by excessive filing.The thicker the gel is applied the more PIs are present in that layer and the higher the temperature of the exothermic reaction. Thinner layers of UV gel cure more thoroughly and create less heat while curing.
The right balance between the photo initiator and UV lamp is needed to achieve the perfect balance.The intensity of UV light and the duration of the UV exposure is key. Placing the clients hand just outside the light UV lamp for 20 seconds at a time helps reduce the heat spike effect. Than you can place your entire hand in the UV lamp for the remainder of the time. Gels cure in a 36 watt lamp in 3 minutes so make sure the nails are fully cured before you cleanse the dispersion layer.

I love that you don't pile on gel and make the nail look fat. These are elegant. Sometimes nail techs go way overboard with product. This is an easy fill and no damage to the cuticle. Finally!!!
aww thank you .yes refills should be simple, easy and not a big lump of gel is needed to create a beautiful and natural nail.
Angie L having a nice apex shouldn't make the nails too thick. I always get a nice apex for strength & shape. It doesn't look right to me when nails are just flat.
You want to flip the nail over (for a few seconds after applying and right before curing) so that gravity works in your favor. That will also help with the leveling and giving you a nice c curve.
Absolutely beautiful! Maybe someday I will get that good.
I am new to gel polish. just fund your videos. thank you so much I learned alot lol
Very well done! Tfs ❤️!
i learned a lot ..thanks
Your voice is so calming. Your tips are very good too ! =)
Isn't it. love her voice.
I really love the way u explain! Thank you for your time.....how many min or seconds do I have to cure the gel with a 36watt uv lamp the same as a 9watt? In advance thank you for your response! Happy Holidays!
Hi there, I love watching your videos because they are very educational. I had a question, when doing your nails when would you use the sculpting gel?
thank you so much for posting this! I have been use the cheap Sina gel, but want to switch to IBD but cant decide if I should do soak off or not. I had a lot of breaking with the Sina and it was so damaging to remove that I am wondering if I should do a soak off next time... when do you think it is better to do soak offs? do they have any down sides? I wonder if they might not be as strong or do they not last as long? thanks so much! You videos are SO helpful!
hi great video. do you do one nail of one hand at the time? i am asking because if i try to do all 4 or 5 nails and then cure, gel always goes on the sides
I love the fact, the gel is self leveling.
The more i see the Gel the more i want to try it out! might look on Amazon for a kit & light set up (then i'll put a lil bug in hubby's ear that it would make a great B-day gift! since it is only 3 months away ;D....)
You are very informative, love your tutorials, did you purchased your idb from ebay??? And wow I thought the name brand was dina ..thanks
Hi, could you tell me what you found about the gel quality? Does it go away easily? How long does it last? Did you find it consistent? I ask why I'm going to try to make nails gel at home just like you and I would like a very good and cheap gel that lasts for nails 3 weeks or more because I perform cleaning and lots of typing, so I would need a gel Well resistant and with an excellent price. thank you so much
Foarte util,Anna! Chiar iti multumesc pt acest video; am nevoie de instructiuni de acest gen pt a invata mai multe. I´m still a noob with fake nails :)
Is this good for people with sensitive skin? Every time I get my nails done I get these tiny red spots that form around the tops of my finger tips & my cuticles swell up 😩😩😩
what to recommend as i'm a beginner in gels
I took your advice and went to the site and I saw that they are coming out with a led lamp. It's not for sale yet, but it's coming soon, so I assume that ibd gels can be used with led lamps. I still sent an email to make sure though.
wow they look so natural, do all gel nails look more natural than acrylics like this? im considereding trying it i always get acrylics but I am looking to achieve really natural looking nails like yours please reply
I remove the gel exactly the same way you do... My question is: how do I remove the gel from the lifted areas close to the cuticles?
I file the gel down, but don't know how to get rid of the air bubbles that appear in the lifted area.
Would it be a good idea do gel nails to help my weak natural nails? I want want them long and nail hardners don't work.
Hi did you use to sell the idb Reconstrux in a tiny bottle? If so can a person still get a hold of that? Cheers
do you cure the bonder ?
It seems like no matter what I do, I always get some gel too close, or even over some of my cuticle area...even if I don't put it there, since it is self leveling, it just ends up there.
How do I avoid that?
THX :)
Cool Idea.
Is this easyer for you than the Acrylic?
can i use acrylic primer for gel nails?
can you use a led lamp with this gel? I don't want to invest in another lamp in order to try this product.
i have done this exactly as discribed but my gel always cracks and peels off. can anyone help
Wow butterfly
I love your video, I wanted to know if I can use my LED curing lamp to cure my IBD builder gel nails?
IBD only cures with a 36 watt uv lamp although please double check because I'm sure the new generation of IBD gel will cure with LED but the one I used in this video is only cured with UV lamps.
Thanks so much I just wanted to know b4 I invested in the kit!
I have a question:
I see the nail on the finger you're working with and you say you use gel.
But your nail looks as if you didn't use gel before on it. How do you clean the gel off and manadge to keep those healthy looking nails?
I mean, after I file the gel my nail doesn't look natural like yours.
thanks
I didn't know before and I got a reg UV gel and is hard to get it off.I need to file s lot.Lol
is the ibd builder gel the same as the gelish structure gel? or is builder gel stronger ? i wanna go a fil on myself and i have the structure gel but idk if i should use the builder instead.
use the builder gel its stronger
I'm new to gel nails. I've been experimenting with soak off and hard gels for a couple of weeks and have decided to use the hard gel system for strength on my natural nails. Can you tell me everything I'll need? It looks like I need Bonder, Builder Gel and Top Coat from your video, but I noticed your top coat says UV on the bottle. I have an LED lamp, so times on all of these products would be very much appreciated. Also, I was hoping to find a pink/blush builder gel. I think IBD Xtreme Blush is what I want? Thanks!
I'm sorry I never saw this comment Miss. I just bought everything separately from Amazon (Gelish) but am thinking about switching to IBD.
I am new to the ibd builder. Do you put it thicker near the cuticle? I've noticed I get quite a bit of lifting there and Idk if I'm putting it on too thin or I'm buffing it too thin. Thought maybe a little thicker might stop that
Lisa Ritchie no don't apply thick layer of gel near the cuticles.. you shouldnt be able to notice where the gel ends on your cuticles... as in- it should blend in smoothly. If you have lifting near your cuticles few things can cause this. Make sure you 1) cleanse, remove all surface oils. 2) lightly buff the nail to remove the shine and any dead skin tissue that can cause lifting 3) make sure to use dehydrator primer or bonder 4)make sure you cure the correct amount of time 5) don't file too rough when shaping use a light touch around the cuticle area as it can cause cracks. Hope this helps
It usually happens when a bigger or should I say, thicker amount of gel is applied to the nail. When it starts to burn, pull the finger out and press it against a hard surface, like the table, nail side up, and it should be fine. It has nothing to do with the quality of your products, but keep in mind, it's better to apply 2-3 thinner layers than 1 thick one.
Hi, would you recommend gel or acrylic for weak nails? I have had acrylic nails for 10 years but i am learning to do my own at home to save money! a friend suggested i do gel nails! Are these still really strong?
+monster_cass watch my gel nail videos. there are many gels. I suggest Gelish soak off . watch my acrygel video that will be helpful for youua-cam.com/play/PLAB145F1993BD0577.html
I finished my education soon but my teacher told us that this is result from putting too much gel on one place.Usully when we build the curve between the nail bed and free edge that happened.
I just stumbled upon your videos after doing research on why my gel nails keep lifting. Not sure if I should switch to IBD or not. Any suggestions?
Jill Bonn bio sculpture it's amazing
Connie Vargas I see they don't have LED colors? Why are all the pretty colors always UV only? 😡
Hopefully someone will read this to help me out. I'm new to this and I have tried ibd builder gel and gelish soak off. I find that I can just peel both of these right off. The one thing I'm not doing is using a bonder. I assume that is the issue? I used a primer. I'm also curing in a 9 watt LED. Any advice would be appreciated!!

I would love to know too my gel nails lift like the next it's so frustrating.
Me too! I use the Gelish hard gel system and get lifting immediately around the cuticle after I do a fill. I am anal about prep, so that's not the issue. Everyone does it differently and it's so frustrating. Dehydrate, Bonder, Primer, Base Layer...I'm so confused!
Senorita1982 I have finally found a solution. before I applied the bonder I used no lift primer from sallys in the blue box it was expensive $14 dollars at sallys but cheaper online and 2 weeks going strong no lifting. but it is acidic, just don't get on your skin only on the nail plate. I did the first coat let it dry and did a second coat and let it dry before applying the bonder. Hopefully this helps just sharing what worked for me
Detty Francois Thanks for the tip. After switching to IBD and using bonder instead of primer, I too am having much better luck. I think I will add primer too before my bonder. Good luck! Now if I could just perfect the apex! 💅🏻
Senorita1982 : opi's bondex is excellent for ibd hard gel . I have been using it for 15 years:)
Hi! Do you think I could use foundation gel (Gelish) to replace the bonder? I have to use this on a client and I don't have bonder :(
yscasia cummings you can use any base coat or even use a very thin layer of the hard gel itself as a base coat
hi!! I feel like I do every step to a T and i still get lifting around my cuticle and side walls of my nails... my nails get to the point where I can peel them off.... I love gels but don't know if they work for me... any tips??
racquel kylander your nail beds sound naturally oily. Use a dehydrator to dry them out and a bonder....it should help. :)
Question: I have acrylic overlays on my nails now. Do I have to take it off before I start builder gel or can I just start using it at my next fill?
+TheCatAteMyShoe you can go ahead with the gel refill no need to remove the acrylic unless you want to
Excellent, thank you! You just got a new subscriber. I love your videos.
What is the brush cleaner and how do you clean your brush after Application??
Larynne Bartlett you can clean the brush with a lint free pad and some ISP (rubbing alcohol)
can l use any uv gel lamp for ibd gels or have to be some special kind.?? can l buy lamp on ebay or amazon?
Elizabeta Lukacevic you can use any uv lamp, now the ibd brand comes uv/led cure so it's very versitile. Sally Beauty has lots of lamps to choose from that's where I got mine and it's a 9watt uv.
Will these cure w/ an LED light? Thx
rmdatt if the tub says LED/UV then yes. If it doesn't say LED on the tub then no
Why a 120 grit file instead of 90 grit file because your nails look natural and 120 is mainly for false nails. Any reason or for the tutorial?
See? I was Right!!! Yay!
Hi is it true if i get gel nails i MUST get gel color on my nails? Can i use regular nail polish on my gel nails? Hope anyone can answer before tomorrow thank you
You can use any polish.
Melanie De Dios I use regular polish on my gels....
What uv lamp do you have?
in this video I used a 9 watt lamp but for the best cure use a 36 watt 4 bulb lamp.
how do you remove non-soak off gels?
Milena Gatto you either have to let them grow out naturally with your nail or file them off being careful not to damage your natural nail bed
ibd gel is better than lina gel?
how it last ibd and how lina gel on you? i tried lina gels and it last one day on me
alldaybeautifulll IBD is a higher quality gel and it works amazing. Sina (not lina) actually lasted very well on my nails. If you do the right prep work on the nails the Sina gel stays on just as well as the IBD gel. All gels have similar ingredients so they work similar.
***** Have you tried gelish polish? Is that good? I tried lightless gel from All seasons but it cracks so easily, I even used the no nail lift primer...any suggestions
why a 120 grit instead of a 180...i thought 180 was softer or was i told or tought wrong i went to a shitty school that closed down i litteraly had 68 hours left
Hope Reynolds the lower the grit the harsher it is.. the higher the grit the softer it is.. 120 will be more rough than a 180
can i use the builder gel on the natural nail without a tip ?!!
Yes! Many people do this to strengthen their natural nails and to prevent breakage.
Did you try it? the gel I mean. I'm looking for a gel that is ok with a LED lamp and I only want it to strengthen my nails.
Yeah, I've tried it and it works! If you want to strengthen your nails, I recommend Nailtiques protein formula 2+ - it's really good! you can also just use gel top coat on top of natural nails to keep your nails more sturdy and less prone to breakage.
sparklingcherries I do use gel on my nails for strength but they break anyways.
vidios muy didácticos mejor lo entendería en español
nooo.. file one way!
Shwee Beez They're acrylic nails I think, so it doesn't matter if you file one way or back and forth. You just shouldn't file you your natural nail back and forth.
